It all began as a small mindful plant based treats and herbal tonics catering business and market stall in Napier,
New Zealand with Shardasia Schwass in 2017.
Mindful Mindfood has since expanded to a holistic health and wellness sanctuary after travelling through China, India, Nepal, Vietnam and Indonesia learning about eastern history and philosophy, studying yoga, sound therapy, personal training, coaching , nutrition and naturopathy to now sharing yogic practices, sound therapy and holistic wellness modalities around studios, retreats and wellness festivals around New Zealand since 2019.
We currently offer our services one on one or in small groups online.
"Our vision here at Mindful Mindfood is to empower all beings to live their most fulfilled lives,
for the benefit of all beings." - Shardasia Schwass.

Shardasia Schwass
- Founder and Lead Guide at Mindful Mindfood
Kia Ora and Namaste, my name is Shardasia and I am the intuitive mind and creatress behind Mindful Mindfood.
My passion for all things wellness lead me here with a vision of empowering others to live their most fulfilled lives.
I have been a practising student of Yoga for about 10 plus years and in 2018 and 2019 I travelled to India and Nepal to attain this ancient knowledge and wisdom of Eastern Philosophies. In this time I attended a 200 Hour Kundalini Tantra Yoga Teacher Training, along with Reiki and Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Therapy courses, in Rishikesh , this was where a set of bowls found me and I bought them back along with knowledge and teachings to share these powerful tools with my home country of New Zealand.
I continued to deepen my practice in 2021 and attended a 200 hour Multi-Style Yoga Teacher Training in Yoga Nidra, Yin, Hatha and Vinyasa here in New Zealand. Most recently I studied a Diploma of Holistic Health Science towards Nutrition and Naturopathy.
Driven by my number one goal to inspire and plant mindful seeds that lead towards self discovery and empowerment to develop a ripple effect for worldly peace and compassion for the benefit of all beings.
